Carnival Red – Greyhound Dog Collar

Measuring for a Collar

Here are some guidelines to fit your pet appropriately for a collar.To achieve the most accurate fit, measure your pets neck with a cloth tape measure.

Tools

Pull the cloth measuring tape snug but not tight. (If you do not have a tape measure, you can use a piece of string and then measure the string with a rigid ruler).

Don't rely on weight!

Dogs come in all shapes and sizes, so the only reliable way to fit them with a collar is to go by their measurements.

Below is a guide for you to choose the correct size:

Mayfair 7"-8.5" (18cm - 22cm)

Tiny 9"-12" (23cm - 30cm)

Small 12"-15" (30cm - 37.5cm)

Medium 15"-19" (37.5cm - 48cm)

Large 19" -22" (48cm - 56cm)

A collar shouldn't be tight around your pet's neck and therefore it will not be the exact measurement of their neck. For safety reasons - so it doesn't snag on something - it shouldn't be too loose either. A snug fit is what you are aiming for and not a tight one or one that chokes.

Two finger rule

When the collar is on, you should be able to slide two fingers between a properly fitting collar and your pets neck. If there's extra room, you need a smaller size. If both fingers don't fit, the collar is too small.

A quality leather pet collar, if cared for correctly, should last for several years - Dennis McGuirkManaging Director of Tagiffany

To keep your leather collar in tip-top condition, Dennis highly recommends trying to avoid contact with salt or chlorinated water as this eats away the oils and tallows of the leather. If the leather does come into contact with these, rinse with fresh water and allow to air dry, when fully dry, treat with a suitable leather conditioner to restore the goodness to the leather.If prolonged exposure to water occurs and the leather hardens Dennis suggests neatsfoot oil to restore suppleness to the leather. If the leather becomes dirty with mud, simply wipe clean with a damp cloth and when dry treat with a suitable conditioner.

The Kensington Collars have been developed by Tagiffany to feature an additional d-ring, a unique feature on the market. This additional d-ring allows owners to attach the lead and tag to different rings. Eliminating the constant rubbing which can over time, damage your tag.
